Milliyetçiliğe Bakmak

Ernest Gellner's book "Nations and Nationalism" has gained an indispensable place in the theoretical library on nationalism. In the book you have, Gellner brings his evaluations about nationalism to current and political contexts: International order, Marxism, Islam... and nationalism. It discusses the relationship between important thinkers and politicians such as Marx, List, Malinowski, Carr, Masaryk, Heidegger, Patocka, Hroch, Havel, Edward Said and nationalism. And perhaps the feature that makes the book most interesting and "entertaining" is; Gellner localizes his material considerably: Poland, Czechoslovakia, Ireland... and Türkiye; Kemalism... tries to explain that nationalism, which is "an important overarching force like gravity, although often not strong enough to be violently destructive...", "has not lost any of its importance, but operates, so to speak, in the context of a new system of ideas." , when you look back at the present and the future. Even though his approach is widely discussed and some of his critics find him "too" modernist or liberal, Ernest Gellner is an author that everyone interested in the subject will want to discuss and every addicted reader will enjoy reading, with his meticulous and extremely insightful perspective and sarcastic and quick-witted language.
